00:00SUBJECT AND PREDICATE
00:06A complete simple sentence has a subject and a predicate.
00:15All the words in a subject form the complete subject and all the words in a predicate form the complete predicate.
00:26For example
00:29You and I are learning about sentences.
00:35Here you and I form the complete subject and are learning about sentences form the complete predicate.
00:48The subject in a sentence names whom or what the sentence is about.
00:57The complete subject has noun or pronoun or noun phrase.
01:06For example
01:08Nikki plays football.
01:12Here Nikki noun is subject.
01:18We are going out for dinner.
01:22Here we pronoun is subject.
01:29My mother's name is Anupama.
01:33Here my mother's name noun phrase is subject.
01:41The subject does something or is or has something.
01:49For example
01:51Nikki reads detective stories.
01:56Poisonous snakes have fangs.
02:01A sentence may also have an object.
02:06The object of a sentence comes after the verb in the predicate.
02:13For example
02:15Meghna washed her car.
02:18In a sentence the subject is a person or a thing that does the action.
02:26In the same sentence the object is a person or a thing that receives the action of the subject.
02:37For example
02:39Radha feeds the baby.
02:43The object answers the question what or whom.
02:50For example
02:52The boys played well and won the trophy.
02:58Here trophy gives the answer to the question what and thus is the object of this sentence.
03:09The predicate is that part of a sentence that tells what is said of the subject.
03:19The complete predicate includes a verb or verb phrase plus all the words after the verb.
03:30For example
03:32Ram the tailor is stitching my dress for the fancy dress competition.
03:38Here is stitching is the verb phrase and all the words that follow the verb phrase along with it form the complete predicate.
03:49A complete subject has a simple subject and a complete predicate has a simple predicate.
04:01The simple subject is the main noun or pronoun in the complete subject.
04:09For example
04:11The ticket checker checked the tickets.
04:16Here the noun ticket checker is simple subject.
04:24The complete predicate begins with a verb and tells what the subject does, has or is.
04:34The simple predicate is the verb in the complete predicate.
04:40For example
04:42We will be travelling together.
04:45Here the verb will be travelling is simple predicate.
04:51A simple subject and a simple predicate can be more than one word.
04:58For example
05:00Rajdhani Express was running.
05:05Here Rajdhani Express is the main noun and forms simple subject and was running is the verb forming the simple predicate.
